    I think I was three. I remember the passing of seasons i.e. The days used to be warm and now they are getting cooler and cooler.

    I was three years old. Me and my dad were getting ready to go to sleep, and we were alone in the whole house. My dad turned off the lights, and told me that when I wake up, I will have a baby sister (my mom was in a hospital preparing to give birth).

    Almost unbelievably mine is at fifteen months. It was caused by a bomb blast when I was in hospital near London during WW2 being operated on to straighten one of my feet. I remember the lights flickering, the big pink rubber inflatable pillows and the rubbery smell and the very loud bang. My next memory was at about two and a half, in a pushchair accident.

    No it's not. I wouldn't have remembered anything that wasn't a bit of a shock. Well, let's just say I'm not sad about it, but thanks anyway.

    There are two of them: One is being posed by my older sister and cousins in a swimsuit wearing my mother's string of pearls and leaning back and crossing my legs at the ankles while they took my photo. I still have that photo. I wish I had the swimsuit and the pearls too. lol

    The other one is my dad bringing home a new car and coming out of the house with my mother to see it.

    Both of those happened when I was about two years old. I still love swimsuits and jewelry and cars. Those memories must have made a strong impression on me.
